The Originator

You've seen imitators, you've seen duplicators, now you can see the originator.

Suns and Rockets got into a fight. Nope, Ron Artest wasn't involved. Shaq, Barnes, Alston, McGrady and maybe Nash will probably recieve suspensions. McGrady set a pick on Nash and Nash started rubbing his shoulder and being canadian, so on the next Rockets possession when Alston tried to screen Barnes, Barnes gave Alston a forearm to the chest to move him out of the way. Alston was not appreciative, and shoved Barnes back. Nash ran out to confrot Alston and for his troubles was pushed down by McGrady. At this point, everyone's standing in a clump and Shaq runs up and proceeds to push McGrady and Yao over and then shoved Alston 8 feet across the floor. Fun. I'm thinking like 3 games a piece.

Dwight Howard had a triple-double. With blocks.

I know most of you aren't NASCAR fans, but for those that are I thought this was a great piece on how to improve things.

If you are bored today, send an e-mail to info@motionpictureprod.com and tell them they are all a bunch of douchebags.

This ESPN streak thing is difficult. I can't even get past 4 correct picks in a row. And I'm below .500, 39-41 to be exact. I'm beginning to think I'm unlikely to win the top prize.

Puns are bad in commercials. "Say yellow to the future." Really yellowbook, that's the best you could come up with? Bad pun = bad product.

Fun browser game where you are a college basketball coach trying to improve your progam. Not the most interactive, but an interesting sim nonetheless.

Some crazy ho tried to give me an 80 cent refund on shipping for an ebay item. When she did that, paypal withheld the rest of her money. So she refunded the rest of it to me. Now instead of playing a nice, new xbox game, I get to sit here confused. Why would you refund 80 cents? This goes hand in hand with some amazon seller that sent me a check for 2.60$ for a shipping refund. Strange people.

"It is important this year that we must, in a very sincere way, reflect the state of the market and the economy, as well as showing empathy for our colleagues in the industry who are not fairing as well as ourselves."

Okay. so its not like the company can't afford it. They just want to be empathetic.

EP, did you c-n-p this or retype it? Cause if you c-n-p'd it I'm pretty sure there's some subtle hdh in it.

i had somebody ask me if they should stop spending money because the country is in a recession. I told her no, not unless she's worried she's going to lose her job, if not, the recession is meaningless to her and the media is putting people in a panic which causes the recession to spiral downward.

"There is one rainbow in all this rain. Amber donated all of Barry's organs and bone marrow, giving new life to more than a dozen people, which only goes to show that even in death, you can't keep a guy like Barry Scott down."

Lynette Woodard, an All-America basketball player at Kansas and a member of the gold medal-winning 1984 U.S. Olympic team, scored seven points to make history as the first woman to play for the Harlem Globetrotters.

Then the section below starts out with..."She's the one who floats, gazelle-like, at wing guard or small forward; who hungers for penetration and offensive rebounds..."

fmtem got me SJs at the movies once. i just gave them away. she got mad but I 'splained to her that I axed for SPKs and she got SJs, so it was her fault. she said they were the same thing, then she tried one and agreed that they do suck.

"Portis actually felt better [Wednesday], so hopefully he'll continue to work in the training room. We'll see how it goes on a daily basis, but I know it's going to be a game-time decision - that's pretty much a lock," Zorn said. "[Betts'] burst wasn't there yet, but the fact he was pushing off and making cuts was encouraging. I was impressed."

"speaking of soccer and starvation, anyone see the wwl special about "the homeless world cup"?"

Semi-related: They recently had the Peasant Olympics in Beijing. They used the new stadiums and everything. And yes, the peasants were treated like peasants. No food, no water, nothing. The events they had were hilarity.
